Even by today’s standards, the B-29 Superfortress is a huge plane. This aircraft, created by Boeing in the early 1940s, had complex innovations that improved the bomber plane. It had pressurized crew rooms and remote-controlled weapons, among other things. It was also renowned as the world’s heaviest manufacturing plane! During WWII, this was yet another significant aircraft. Observation and in-flight refueling were among the missions performed by the B-29.
